Coming up on today's show.

Over the last 50 years, iodine levels have fallen over 50%.

We've tested over 8,000 people for our iodine levels.

Just right below 98% are iodine deficient.

The vast majority are severely iodine deficient.

In our toxic world, with our exposure to fluoride and bromide at the levels that we have right now,

you can't get enough in from food.

In medical school, the only thing I learned about iodine was that iodine deficiency was a thing of the past, and iodide salt corrected that, and no one's iodide deficient anymore. Even though when I was in medical school, the studies were coming out from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey that the vast majority of Americans were deficient in iodine. And I would try iodine in the first 10 years of my holistic practice, little amounts, medium amounts, and large amounts, and it wasn't helping patients like thyroid hormone was helping. Dr. Abraham taught me why the form of iodine I was using wasn't working in my patients. And when I started using the right form of iodine, I started to have the great results that I'm still getting today. I said 50 years iodine levels have been falling across the United States.

It started around 1970.

So what happened in 1970?

Dr. Brownstein, great to have you back on the show.

For our second conversation, I think a good framework for us, at least to start,

is to look at the mist surrounding iodine and bust them.

Are you with me?

I'm with you.

Okay.

First one is that too much iodine causes Hashimoto's.

Take that and run.

There are some loud practitioners on the internet making that claim, and they've been making

that claim for years. It's interesting, they're making that claim over these making that claim, and they've been making that claim for years.
